Tang Beibei rejected Jiang Minglangâs offer to accompany her back to the Rong residence.
âThereâs no need to trouble second young master, I can go back by myself.â
Jiang Minglang stared at her with determination and said with a smile. âIf word got out that you went home alone, it would look like the Jiang family had mistreated you. You suffered so much that you went crying back to your family.â
âYou.â
âIf Beibei is going home, naturally I would accompany her.â
Jiang Jingchen had a coughing fit after he said that. Tang Beibei patted his back worriedly.
Jiang Minglang saw his brother cough like he was about to cough out his lungs and quickly covered his nose in disgust, afraid that he would be infected.
âBrother, donât force yourself given your health. Itâll be bumpy on the road, and itâll be really bad if you got pneumonia and had to be rushed to the ICU.â
Tang Beibeiâs face darkened when she heard Jiang Minglangâs inauspicious words.
âMy husband is in good health. My family home visit is our business. You donât have to worry about it, second young master. You should go and do your own things.â
No one wanted to be sick. Jiang Jingchenâs illness was already a pain. It was one thing to not care about him as his younger brother, but to stand on the side and make sarcastic remarks? So mean!
Jiang Jingchen watched the girl defend him with an angrily pouted face and found her rather cute.
He stopped coughing and stroked her head to comfort her.
âItâs fine. Itâs fine if he wants to tag along.â
Tang Beibei couldnât say anything since he had agreed.
Tang Beibei changed into a chiffon dress and put on light makeup for her family home visit. Her beauty required little embellishment. The light makeup she put on was more than enough to enhance her appearance.
Jiang Minglang looked at her slim figure and pretty face. He was so jealous that his heart turned green like an envious monster.
Such a stunner and the sickly invalid couldnât even sleep with her! It was such a waste of Godâs gift!
After they got into the car, Tang Beibei explained to Jiang Jingchen in a low voice, âIâm boarding at the Rong residence. I call Mrs. Rong or He Li âAuntieâ. Thereâs no real need for such a ceremony.â
She was afraid that it would be awkward when she arrived at the Rong residence. After all, her relationship with the Rong family was not very good.
Jiang Jingchenâs acknowledged her expressionlessly with a simple ârightâ. He had already read her information last night.
She was Rong Yongâs illegitimate daughter, but Mrs. Rong, He Li, never accepted this illegitimate daughter even when she raised her and told the public that she was a distant cousin boarding with them.
However, the husband accompanying the bride back home was a sign of his respect for the bride and also the etiquette of the Jiang family.
When they arrived at the Rong residence, the door was locked.
Jiang Minglang went to knock on the door, and a servant opened it.
âWhere are the Rongs?â
The servant replied, âSir is at work, Madam is out shopping, and the second young miss is at school. Thereâs no one at home.â
Jiang Minglang was so angry that he kicked the door open and roared, âCall the Rongs and tell them that the two young masters of the Jiang family are here. If they donât come home within half an hour, Rong Corporation will go bankrupt!â
The Rong Corporation was just a small business. If it werenât for the fact that the Jiang familyâs second young master wanted to use the ugly and fat Rong Meiâer to humiliate his sickly brother, they wouldnât even give the Rong Corporation a second glance!
When the servant heard that they were the young masters of the Jiang family, he nodded in fear and hurriedly went to make the call.
Tang Beibei pushed Jiang Jingchen into the villa. She didnât have a good relationship with the Rongs. She was usually invisible at the Rong residence. She wasnât surprised that the Rong family didnât pay attention to her home visit.
She said to Jiang Jingchen, âIs it okay if I go pack my things to take away?â
âDo you mind if I go to your room?â Jiang Jingchen asked.
âNo, not at all. Itâs just thatâ¦â Tang Beibei was embarrassed. Her room was in the basement and had no sunlight all year round, so it was a little cold. âItâs a little messy.â
âNo problem, letâs go.â
Jiang Minglang followed, wanting to join in the fun, when he heard that they were going to the girlâs boudoir. When he saw that Tang Beibei was heading towards the basement, he exclaimed, âArenât we going to your room? Why are we going to the basement?â
âMy room is down there.â
The basement was huge, with a small corner partitioned using curtains where there was a bed, a small worn desk, and a wardrobe.
Even Jiang Minglang couldnât stand it. This villa wasnât located in the best location. Not only was there no sunlight in the basement, but it was also very humid. The neatly folded blankets were obviously damp.
How could a girlâs body take it if she lived here?
The Rong family didnât treat her like a human, but like a dog!
Tang Beibei quickly packed her things and said with embarrassment, âSorry, itâs a little shabby. Letâs go back up.â
Jiang Jingchen didnât say anything, but his handsome face was gloomy. He was obviously in a bad mood.
Song Zhou saw his young master frowning and knew that someone was going to suffer. He didnât dare to say anything and asked Jiang Minglang to help lift Jiang Jingchenâs wheelchair back upstairs.
Jiang Minglang was so angry that he rolled his eyes. No wonder this sickly invalid didnât stop him when he wanted to come to the Rong residence with them. So, he was here to do hard laborâ¦
Jiang Minglangâs heart was filled with anger. He was even more annoyed with the Rong family. After they got upstairs, he sat in the living room and kicked the coffee table.
âWhy arenât the Rongs back yet? Are they all dead? Do you need my help to prepare coffins?â
How dare the Rongs make him wait?
Tang Beibei also felt that it was a waste of time to just wait there.
The Rongs felt nothing for her so they naturally didnât care about her home visit after getting married. She also didnât want to see them.
âHubby, why donât we go home?â
Jiang Jingchen noticed that she still had a smile on her face when she spoke. Although life had been hard on her since young, she had a good temper. This made his heart ache even more.
âSince we are here, letâs wait.â
Since they were here and he found out how the Rongs have mistreated Tang Beibei, he had to do something.
If the Rongs didnât treat his woman as a human, he wouldnât be nice either. He would torture them like dogs!
